Reports sort by date?

Question

Maybe I'm missing something obvious. In the inventory reports which show dates such as  "Last Boot Time" or "Last status change for each interface" I can't find an easy way to sort the output by date. Is there one, or should I submit this as an enhancement request?

Bump.

Has this sorting issue been fixed in v5?

Thanks. That helped. However, one issue now, regarding sorting. If I sort by, say, last boot date, anything yesterday or prior gets sorted as I'd expect, but if a device was booted this morning, it gets sorted to the bottom because it shows the time and not the date. So, for instance, something from yesterday shows as "8/24/2008 12:36 AM" but something from today just shows as "06:02 AM" and sorts below (older) than anything that has a date. Can this be corrected?

You can sort by date, but you have to change the report options to disable grouping (by default the report is grouped by Node Group).   Once grouping is disabled, you should be able to click on the column header to sort by that field.
